To all whom it may concern. .1

Be it known that li, SnMmiL SPEo'roR, a subject of the Czar of Russia, having resided in the United States one year last past and having declared my intentions of becomlng a citizen thereof, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Bag for Umbrellas, Shoes, andother Articles, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists of a bag convenient for home, oilices, hotels, etc, formed of a plurality of independent pockets one 11nposed on the other and adapted for the stor age of various goods, such as umbrellas, canes, rubbers, and other shoes, etc.

it consists also in providing theinterlor of the base portion. of one of the pockets with a supplemental pocket of water proof material, forming a drip cup or receptacle so that water from an'umbrella placed in the pocket will not escape through the bottom of the pocket, but may be collected and subsequently discharged.

The invention is satisfactorily illustrated in the accompanying drawing, but the important instrumentalities thereof may be varied, and so it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the specific details shown and described.

Figure 1 represents a front view of a bag in closed condition embodying my invention.

Fig. 2 represents a perspective view thereof in open condition.

lEi 8 represents a vertical section thereof on line 3-3 Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 represents a view of the lnterior of the lower portion of the bag.

Fig. 5 represents a section thereof on line 5-5 Fig. 4.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.

Referring to the drawings 1 designates the bag, the same belng formed of the front wall 2, and the rear wall 3, which are separated in the dlrection of the length of the bag and unlted at the edges thereof forming the pocket 4, closed at the bottom and open at thetop, so as to receive an article, such as an umbrella, one or more as desired, and store and retain it therein said edges having the binding 5 thereon for the purpose of closure and strength.

Imposed on the front wall 2 of said pocket '4 is the wall 6 which is separated therefrom in the direction of the length of the bag and united at its edges with those of said wall 2 forming the pocket 7 the side edges havthe bottom of the pocket 7. The top of the latter named pocket is open below the open top of the pocket 4 so as to receive an article such as a pair of shoes, one or more, and store and retain them therein, this being facilitated by making the wall 6 of verti ,oally-extending accordion-like folds 9 which while being collapsible in flat condition also admit of the distention of said wall and a consequent enlargement of the capacity of said pocket 7 to receive such article which is comparatively of greater thickness than an umbrella, it being noticed that the interior of the pocket 4 is unbroken from top to bottom and is of greater depth than the pocket 7 so that the umbrella may be readily inserted thereinto without obstruction, and the front wall 2 of said pocket 4 is of greater width than the rear wall 3, so that the former may be distended outwardly as at 10, and so increase the capacity of said pocket 4 suficient to admit the umbrella or'a plurality of umbrellas, as most plainly shown in Fig. 2.

It is evident that canes or other articles may be placed in the pocket 4, while rubber and various kinds of shoes may be placed in the pocket 7.

The various walls of the pockets may be formed of material, water or damp proof, but as water from an umbrella or umbrellas will drip into the pocket 4, in order to prevent the same reaching the bottom joint of the latter, there is placed in the" lower portion of the pocket,the drip cup or re ceptacle 11 which is stitched or otherwise secured thereto at the top on the line 12, it being formed of sheet rubber or other positively water proof material closed on its sides and bottom, and open at the top so as to be in communication with the pocket 7 and thus receive the ferrule-end of an umbrella or umbrellas, whereby the latter when in wet condition may drain into said receptacle 11, the collected water being readily removable when the device is overturned.

The portion of the back wall 8 is extended above the open top of the pocket 4 forming the flap 13 so that when the bag is emptied it may be readily folded, and said flap form in a measure a closure and cover therefor, rendering the device convenient for travelers, as well as for purposes of packing and transportation.

Thebag is provided at the top with the loop or other'hanger 14 for evident purposes.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

'1. In a bag for the purpose described, front and rear walls forming a main pocket which is closed on its sides and bottom, and open at the top, an additional Wall connected with the front wall of the first named pocket forming an additional short pocket which is'closed on'its sides and bottom and open at the top below the open top of the main pocket, and a drip cup of water proof material in the bottom portion of said main pocket, the same being closed on its sides and bottom, and open at the top, and in communication with the portion of said pocket above said cup, it being suspended Copies of this patent may be obtained for in said portion and secured on its top thereto.

2; In a bag for the purpose described formed of separate walls forming a deep pocket, a Water proof drip receptacle within the lower portion of said pocket and in communication above therewith, said receptacle being closed on its sides and at the bottom, and suspended from its upper end from said walls, said closed bottom being above the closed bottom of the main pocket and adapted to be without communication with the latter named bottom.

3. A bag for the purpose described constructed of separate walls forming a plurality of independent pockets imposed one on the other, respectively closed at their sides and bottoms, said pockets being of differential depths, the lower portion of the deeper pocket having therein a water proof drip-receptacle which is in communication above with said pocket, said receptacle being closed on its sides and at the bottom and suspended from its upper end from said walls, said closed bottom being above the closed bottom of the main pocket and adapted to be without communication with the latter named bottom.
